We have been able to successfully navigate difficult times with a pandemic thanks to GC. It's a fantastic product, and I would highly recommend. 

Get Connected is Amazing

Alex, 

Thank you so much for your review of Get Connected! We seek to deliver the software programs just like yours need, along with kind and fast customer service, to allow you to do your work in the world making a great impact. Our team is grateful to know the software has helped your organization navigate the challenges of the pandemic. We're here if you need any additional software support.

Easy to Use

Hi Karen, 

Thank you for leaving us a review! We're so glad to hear that Get Connected has helped you manage specialized volunteer roles, and that your volunteers like using the platform! As always, our Customer Experience team is here to support you. Please reach out with any needs or questions!

Get Connected has been able to have a large hand in growing my volunteer base, everyone has a cell phone and likes using apps. Using a laptop or computer is not always the easiest method for people, having an app means consumers have it available at all times. 

Say YES to Get Connected

Hi Cierra, 

Thanks for your feedback. We're so glad that Get Connected has helped you grow your volunteer base and that you've had great results with the Cause Connect volunteer app! We hope to see you soon at one of our Get Connected events for volunteer leaders. Take care!

My team and I are happy with the program.  The ability to track our volunteers' location and their hours helps us gather more specific data that we can use for grant writing.  It also helps us demonstrate how efficient we are at carrying our organization's mission via volunteers.

Who's on first? Keeping Track of Volunteers

Monica, 

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience implementing Get Connected and the impact it has made on your volunteer-run organization. The Get Connected Customer Experience team is here to support you and we look forward to seeing the long-term benefits Get Connected has on your volunteer programming! Please reach out to us with any support needs you have!

I love the back end team - everyone is kind and understanding with a good sense of humor and hope

My GetConnected Site

Hi Elisabeth, 

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with Get Connected. We're here for you and we look forward to seeing the long-term benefits Get Connected has on your volunteer program!

Our volunteer center could not do the work we do as easily and efficiently as we can when using the Advanced Events module. Being connected to a United Way, we run several large citywide Days of Caring each year. The Advanced Events module allows us to attach our 30-40 projects to an overarching event. Both our nonprofit partners as well as our volunteers have shared how easy it is to post their opportunities and register team members. In the past we "held" spots for corporate volunteers that many times did not get filled and left the partner organizations with unfulfilled needs. With the ease of the team functionality, that no longer happens.

United Way works with hundreds of companies in our community. We believe everyone can be a philanthropist, it doesn't matter where you live or how much you make. It's the act of giving that binds us together. In addition to reporting what a company gives financially and the impact of their donations, we're able to use the Advanced Event module to track all volunteer engagement for the year. A number when converted to dollars back to our community (love that on the individual profile pages!) sometimes exceeds a financial gift.  The only functionality that would make that even better would be to have the ability to hide or reserve by password a project for a certain department within a company's Advanced Event. (ex- project posted for only executives or for a certain geographic location)

Advanced Events are A MUST!

Nikki, 

Thank you so much for your review and feedback here! We have created options that would fit your needs for the corporate volunteer teams that you mentioned here. Please do reach out to Customer Experience team and we'll get you started with using those features!

The ability to educate and inform our community about the specific volunteer needs of local agencies, while providing those agencies with tangible support and a framework for managing their volunteer programs.

Get Connected provides a hub for volunteerism in our community.

Thanks so much for your review, C.K.!
We're so glad Get Connected is meeting the needs of your organization. We're always here to support with our Customer Experience team. Keep up the great work in your community!

Get Connected is hands down AWESOME! 

Sarah, Thank you so much for your review! Our mission is to support programs just like yours make that leap forward with easy to use software solutions. Our Customer Experience team is always here to assist. Thanks for being a part of the Get Connected community!

Game changer 

Hi Gwynneth! We're so glad your Get Connected onboarding was so successful and that you've experienced such phenomenal results! We absolutely love seeing volunteer programs thrive - it's why we do what we do. We hope to see you at one of our Get Connected events for volunteer leaders. Take care and stay in touch!

I have so many questions and help is not easy to get.

Volunteer Management with local United Way

Amy,

Thank you for your review of Get Connected. Check back in with the Customer Support center for updates on hours tracking features and trainings on how to make the most of our latest enhancements! We're always here to support!

The staff has all been very supportive with everything we have gone through with working with Miami.

Amanda, 

Thanks so much for your review here! We're glad you're a part of the Get Connected community. As always, our Customer Experience team is available to assist with any support needs that may arise. Check back for continued support and training on new enhancements!

I was hoping that this program would allow us to do more.  More so related to the advanced events from an admin standpoint. We need to be able to add opportunities without having an agency registered. Some of our Day of Caring agencies aren't organizations who need volunteers year-round and thus an entire profile is not necessary.  Also, we need a group leader to be able to sign up a full group without needing all of the names or individuals to sign up on their own. We have large corporations with one leaders who does it all. It is extremely discouraging and turning volunteer groups away from volunteering for this year's Day of Caring. 
We are such a small organization and the cost (while known upfront) is alot for us for a software that can't perform like we need it to for our biggest volunteer event.

Less than expected

Hey there, Morgan! Thanks for your feedack. Great news: Get Conneced offers several existing options that allow multiple users to sign up for Advanced Events (even for group leaders representing a team or company!). Better yet, our new Corporate Connect software is available now for your corporate partners so they can connect directly with your Get Connected site and respond quickly and effectively to all your listed volunteer opportunities and campaigns on a year-round basis. 

Please contact our Customer Care or Sales teams for more information! 

Overall great platform to use for volunteer management.

Great Platform

George,
Thanks so much for your review of Get Connected. We appreciate your insights and are always here with our customer experience team to support! 

Since using Get Connected, we've doubled sign ups and participation for our Stuff the Bus event.

Dominique, 

Thank you so much for your review and insight here. We're overjoyed you've seen an increase by "doubling" your events participation! We're always here with our Customer Experience team to support with questions that arise. Thanks for being a part of the Get Connected community!

Our new VolunteerWNY through GC has positively transformed our landscape. This is a very easy system to utilize and has almost tripled the impact we're able to create in our community. I absolutely enjoy working with the software. The feedback from our volunteers and partners are always positive. There are some features that aren't as user-friendly per some of our volunteers and partners. I would argue that this reflects the digital divide among users (generational). In addition, there are various improvements that could be implemented in the AEM to make tasks/functionality easier for users/partners/admin. I would be happy to share those thoughts and ideas with GC. I understand that some of these ideas might only apply to our current environment and projects being management. 

Outstanding with room for growth

Adam,

Wow! Hearing that you nearly tripled your program is amazing news! And yes, we are always here to hear feedback and continue to grow and improve. Please do reach out to Customer Experience to share your insights!

I'm a beginner at using this website as my county's new volunteer coordinator. So far, it's not been hard to use, but it does seem to be a little bit dated. Hopefully, when we're upgraded to 2.0 this will change, but I wish there was a way to have our streaming treats shown to visitors down the right or left side and I wish we had a better Facebook integration.

Great Website, just wish things were more interconnected 

Hi, Landdis! We are excited to help your volunteer center transition to Get Connected version 2.0 via the free upgrade available to all existing customers. Get Connected V. 2.0 has amazing features including a sleek, mobile-friendly interface, social media sharing tools, and  volunteer matching via causes and interests. It won't just make your life easier as a volunteer coordinator, but will also enhance your volunteers' and agencies' community engagement experience. 
Please contact our Customer Care team to get started! 

This software provides a clean and beautiful user interface for volunteers looking for opportunities on our database.  The customer service team is incredibly responsive in helping with any issues as soon as they arise, and issues are few and far between.  We have begun posting most opportunities within the Advanced Events and/or the Disaster Response Module, and as we are learning more about the capabilities of these modules, it has been incredibly beneficial to more specifically track volunteer activity and provide detailed opportunities in the event of an emergency.  

Great way to engage with our volunteer!

Brad,

We're really glad to hear that using Get Connected for your specific volunteer use cases is supporting your organization's efforts. We're always just a short email away at Customer experience should you ever need us! Keep up the great work in your community!

The major pro is that it's easy to contact a person about technical problems or issues I've had. One of the cons I've found is that it's not always user friendly for our agency managers. They have trouble understanding the website.

Great service 

Hi Kathryn! We pride ourselves on being considered the most user friendly platform for both agencies and volunteers in the market, which is why we offer free training sessions to ensure that your partners feel confident and in-control when using the great engagement tools at their disposal on your Get Connected site. Please reach out at any time to Customer Care for the recurring Agency Training schedule! 

The customer service from the Galaxy Digital team has been top notch!  As a campus volunteer manager, we have had quick and accurate information from the Galaxy Digital team whenever we contact them. The team members are very knowledgable and are able to help troubleshoot any issues with ease. 

Best Customer Service Ever! 

Andrea, 

Thank you so much for your review! We are always here for you with our Customer Experience team and will continue to share new enhancements and updates with a detailed training so you can keep making the most of your Get Connected site! Thanks for being here!

easy to post events
easy to access information

sometimes when we call - it is difficult to just talk to who we want to - it seems we have to make appointments though someone else all the time

campus portal is more cumbersome on the backside than it needs to be

wish the campus portal connected to all site so information could be shared when the students leave our area

agency portal and personal use

Michelle, 

Thank you for your review and feedback here. We're happy to support you with your site. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Experience team!

Get Connected is user friendly and can be incorporated directly into our own webpage. Our partner agencies can be added in a way that allows them to upload their volunteer opportunities directly and also manage events. Get Connected provides the tools we need to operate a successful community engagement program. 

Get Connected is an efficient way for our organization to coordinate and track volunteer activities.

Leslie,

We're so glad to hear Get Connected is meeting the needs of your organization!

We prioritize creating a system that saves you time while increasing volunteer engagement with ease. Keep looking for training opportunities from us to support you in making the most of your system.

Overall, Get Connected has been a major upgrade from my previous management software. It is a continuous learning process, both for me, my co-workers, and my volunteers, but it has helped immensely toward my goals of integrating all volunteer activity and data into a single platform. The public webpage that connects directly to our organizations home site also feels like a big bonus - I don't think a lot of other products offer that feature. 

Huge Upgrade from Previous Volunteer Management Software

Hi Travis, 

We really appreciate your thoughtful review. We're so glad to hear that Get Connected has helped you reach your goal for centralizing volunteer data and activity all in one place. We're also pleased to hear how much you like the customizable aspect of the volunteer website. We look forward to all the things your volunteer program accomplishes with your new platform! 

Best,
Annelise

I'm very excited with the possibilities Get Connected offers. So far our experience has been positive and I look forward to adding more of our programs onto Get Connected. To our programs using Galaxy Digital, it has been a VERY helpful tool. 

Review of Get Connected

Hi Kayla,

It's great to hear that Get Connected has been so successful in helping you manage multiple volunteer programs at different geographic locations! Keep your eyes open for upcoming training for Get Connected Site Managers to help you make the most of your system. 

Ease of use, better coordination of volunteers, increased marketing and awareness. 

Since launching the platform, we are experiencing an even greater interest in volunteering.
